NSPCC figures showing a huge increase in online bullying aren't surprising.
That's from online wellbeing expert Wayne Denner.
They showed an 88% increase.
Mr Denner says funded agencies tasked with online safety education aren't properly equipped.
He told Q Radio's Iveren McCallion that education needs to evolve as the online platforms continue to:
"Educating young people and children about online safety is important but we need to be educating parents as well.
He added, "We need to make sure that our education is evolving. This is one of my concerns with it, that as children and young people get older we need to make sure that our education around online safety is evolving - we're not talking about the same things all the time... [so that] we're empowering young people to become more resilient to online bullying and we're equipping them with the skills to protect and manage their online reputation."
